Manual:Installing MediaWiki on SourceForge.net

This page is obsolete. It is kept for historical interest only. It may document extensions or features that are obsolete and/or no longer supported. Do not rely on the information here being up-to-date.

Note: Some instructions are no longer required with the new project web system rolled out by SourceForge.net. See this for more. This document has been updated for this.

These are the instructions for manually installing MediaWiki on SourceForge.net. SourceForge, however, now supports MediaWiki as a hosted app. To install, you can just go to Project Admin -> Feature Settings, click the Available Features tab, and then check "MediaWiki". The hosted app doesn't have much flexibility (it doesn't allow you to change skins or add extensions), although it does integrate with the SourceForge user accounts.

In order to use short URLs, you will need to follow the directions at Manual:Short URL/wiki/Page title -- no root access. Note that these directions assume that you installed the wiki in the "w" directory and want "wiki" to be a part of the short URL.
